This collection of diaries gives readers a powerful, firsthand look
at the effects of the Pacific War on eight ordinary Japanese.
Immediate, vivid, and at times surprisingly frank, the diaries
chronicle the last years of the war and its aftermath as
experienced by a navy kamikaze pilot, an army straggler on Okinawa,
an elderly Kyoto businessman, a Tokyo housewife, a young working
woman in Tokyo, a teenage girl mobilized for war work, and two
school-children evacuated to the countryside. Samuel Yamashita's
introduction provides a helpful overview of the historiography on
wartime Japan and offers valuable insights into the important,
everyday issues that concerned Japanese during a different and
disastrously difficult time.
